memory issues
Sleep deprivation prevents your brain from forming connections which helps us process and remember new information. It can negatively impact both short- and long-term memory, increase forgetfulness and risk of alzheimer’s disease.
weakened immunity
Too little sleep weakens your immune system. You are more likely to get sick when you are exposed to germs.
risk for heart disease
Sleep deprivation may lead to higher levels of chemical linked to inflammation, which play roles in heart disease. Besides, in spring, when people lose one hour of sleep, a subsequent 24% increase in heart attacks occurs the following day.
weight gain
With sleep deprivation, the chemicals that signal to your brain that you are full are off balance. As a result, you are more likely to overindulge even when you have had enough to eat.
poor balance
Lack of sleep can affect your balance and coordination, making you more prone to falls and other physical accidents.
risk for diabetes
A lack of sleep affects your body’s release of insulin, a blood sugar-lowering hormone. People who do not get enough sleep have higher blood sugar levels and an increased risk for type 2 diabetes.
low sex drive
Lack of sleep disrupts the creation of hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Therefore people who do not get enough sleep, often have a lower libido.
